Boxplot - Minimum number of observations
显示 更早的评论
I am wondering how Matlab could plot a box-plot having both the box and the whiskers with a minimum of three observations.
Could someone please help me understand how it is possible to provide a five-number summary by using only three observations? Any published reference on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Berk

The exact description of what MATLAB does is well documented:
